No it doesn’t. A snatch pull is usually much more like a squat, with a fairly stable back angle throughout the first phase and the hips start lower. This is something in between, a snatch pull too heavy so the back gives in, I’d say.

I like doing these after my regular deads because I can get low and really put my legs into it. I don’t like this guys technique, he bring his hips up to fast and it’s all back after that — no doubt about his strength though.
